Police Remember Anna Lytton

A memorial plaque donated by the Police Benevolent Association of East Hampton Village in honor of the late Anna Mirabai Lytton, a 14-year-old Springs School student, will be dedicated at a ceremony at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, the third anniversary of her death.

Ms. Lytton died after a car ran into her bicycle on Pantigo Road in East Hampton, near the intersection of Gay Road in front of the CVS store, where the dedication will take place.

Officer Jack Bartelme, who, with Officer Eben Ball, was first on the scene of the accident, suggested the memorial. He said this week that he had noticed the continuing addition of flowers, letters, garlands, and other mementos at the accident site, and suggested that the P.B.A. install a plaque.

The memorial became a group effort, he said, with donation of a kousa dogwood tree by Robert Pucci of Whitmore’s Landscaping, permission granted by Leonard Ackerman, who owns the property, to plant it in a spot where it will thrive, and the installation of a memorial stone donated by Seven Sons Masonry of Montauk.

Along with East Hampton Village Police Chief Gerard Larsen, Officers Bartelme and Ball will be on hand at the ceremony, as will Ms. Lytton’s parents, Kate Rabinowitz and Rameshwar Das. The public has been invited to attend.
